Do you like rats and mice? If the US happens to lose all it's snakes... we would quickly become overrun with rodents... remember the Huntavirus scare a few years back resulting from the annual rattlesnake hunt? Not a nice alternative... |
Didn't sleep that well - was a bit jumpy still but slept a lot more than I thought I would. I think the evening of Don Knotts' vibrating used up all my energy and I had to sleep.
Ugh! Don't like rats or mice or spiders or lizards(!) or bugs but I am not crazy phobic of them like with S's. If that had been a rat, would have revulsed & creeped & definitely walked the other way but not nuts over the top and standing behind the vet, pointing, & speaking in single syllables. I truly wish I could conquer this weakness as it is very unpleasant when your giant screen HD TV flashes 5 feet of the open mouth of one on the screen or shows one buggying across the dessert sands. Things like that are NOT fun but at least big screen TV's & all the nature channels have started to desensitize me to them a little. In the old days, I would have left the room until the picture was gone off the screen.
I used to be phobic of flying(and let's say my first flight to a resort town was not pretty) but got to the point that I flew weekly for a while so I know phobias can be conquered if you keep at it. I truly wonder where phobias start? I mean the flying fear is from the fear of falling for over a minute knowing you are going to die all that time but I don't understand the fear of snakes. I don't worry they will get near enough me to bite me or even fear their bite - I just detest the idea of them and think they should not be around though practically I know they help mankind in many way. Just wonder how the heck my sister & I got so darned afraid of something so little and overall harmless. But I'd probably rather face King Kong than have one chase me or get on me! That's the ultimate fear - one getting on me and having it touch me and crawl on me. Eeeewwwww ....eeewwwww.....eeeeewwwwww. Now that, I fear.
Anybody else this totally weird about something like bugs or things like that?
